Skim Coating

If it's a prewar building, the super probably either does the skimcoating or can refer you to someone who will. Prices can be extremely variable, so try to see a sample of work they've done before and find out what they've charged for that.

thanks.

be careful -- skim coating can cause the delamination of plaster -- please consider using pink plasterweld on the ceilings -- Pink -- not the blue!

I have a great guy. Let me know if you want his name..he has done almost all my rentals and I've used him in my home several times. I agree also with the above poster; you need to go with someone who will not ruin the integrity of the underlying plaster.

In response to Ali r:

I wouldn't trust what the super says. My experience with the super in my pre-war bldg has always been negative. His idea of quality work does not match my concept of 'well done.' Definitely do your own research.
